Yu Chilan's heart originally planned to follow Hua'an to Luoyang City, but at the moment when the main army of Tuyuhun launched an attack on the Khotanese camp, she saw her father's old eyes, and suddenly felt that her father was already old, and he might not live for many years, if he didn't stay by his side, he might never see him again in many years.

As Yu Chilan, who has always been filial, naturally does not want to let his father die alone in Khotan, besides, at the most critical time, his father who loves him also let himself escape from danger, how can Yu Chilan bear to abandon him when he loves his daughter so much.

Seeing that Yu Chilan refused to leave his father because of filial piety, Hua An had a flash of inspiration in his mind, looked at Yu Chilan, and said: "If Lan'er is reluctant to give up his father, it is better to let him go to Luoyang City together!" This king will give him the best mansion in Luoyang City to live in, Luoyang City is located in the Central Plains, the environment is much better than Khotan, how? ”

Hua'an proposed such a method, seemingly caring about the king of Khotan, so that he could reunite with his daughter in Luoyang City, but in fact, he wanted to put him by his side, so as to facilitate control, at least, not to let Khotan rebel against the Great Jin.

"Your Majesty." Yu Chilan's heart was excited, and she threw herself into Hua An's arms.

At this moment, Yu Chilan's father may not be alive or dead, she is more or less worried about her father's life and safety, and longs that her father is fine.

"Alright, alright, it's okay, everything will pass." Hua An patted this Wei Chilan on the back with his hand and comforted him softly.

Yu Chilan tried the tears in the corners of her eyes, broke free from Hua An's arms, turned around and walked outside the big tent, and Hua An also strode out.

"Your Majesty, the three military horses are ready to set off at any time." As soon as Hua An walked out of the big tent, Song Cheng said loudly.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Leave 10,000 horses and horses waiting for grain and grass in the rear, and the rest of the main army will march west." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Cheng took the order. And immediately convey Huaan's orders down the ladder.

Soon, more than 100,000 troops under the command of Hua'an left the direction of Bailan City and marched in the direction where the Khotanese army was besieged.

Since the main army consisted of infantry and baggage. For this reason, the speed of travel is greatly limited, and the distance of eighty miles will take at least a day and a half.

After a day and a half of marching, Hua'an and his main forces finally arrived at the position where the Khotanese army and the Tuyuhun army were fighting, but. In addition to a large number of corpses of Khotan and Tuyuhun at the scene, there was not a single living Tuyuhun and Khotanese people, only hundreds of elite soldiers of the Jin army.

"Your Majesty, our army is a step too late, and when our army arrived, it was already like this here, General Wang led the main force to continue westward, let us stay and wait for the king, and tell the king about the situation." One of the lieutenants who stayed behind looked at Hua'an. Masaki said.

When Hua An and the generals heard this, they all nodded slightly, but Wei Chilan looked extremely nervous and strode towards the ruins of the Khotanese camp.

"Father, father." Yu Chilan ran through the ruins while calling out to her father.

Seeing Yu Chilan running through the ruins, Hua An'an couldn't help but feel distressed, and looked at the Jin military captain beside him, and asked, "You have been here for so long." Have you found the body of a king of Khotan. ”

"Back to the king, absolutely not, we have carefully checked many times, and the soldiers who died in the battle are all lieutenants. None of the generals above the rank of lieutenant have been killed. Captain Jin said truthfully.

Hua An nodded, looked at the generals, and said, "The army will camp immediately, and after resting for a day, continue to march west." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers will lead with a loud voice.

Subsequently. The soldiers of the Jin army began to set up camp busily, while Hua An walked towards Wei Chilan.

"Lan'er, don't look for it, your father has successfully escaped, there is no body of him here, my soldiers have all checked it." Hua An walked to Yu Chilan's side and said softly.

With tears in her eyes, Yu Chilan looked at Hua An, and said with a little anxiety: "Your Majesty, can my father really escape this catastrophe?" ”

Hua An smiled lightly and comforted: "Don't worry! The people of Khotan have their own natural appearance, and they will be fine, so Lan'er doesn't have to worry, the soldiers and horses under the command of this king have gone west, and I believe that the king of Khotan will be found soon. ”

"Hmm." Yu Chilan responded, and gently leaned her head on Hua An's shoulder, enjoying the solid feeling of relying on it.

On the top of the mountain where the king of Khotan was trapped, more than 1,000 Khotanese soldiers all endured **, they had not drunk water for two days and two nights, and only relying on horse blood to quench their thirst could not solve too big a problem, and many Khotanese soldiers had already shown signs of collapse.

At the foot of the mountain, thousands of soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun not only had water to drink, but also deliberately built open-air baths at the foot of the mountain, and washed their bodies with a large amount of water to stimulate the Khotanese soldiers and horses on the top of the mountain and make them come down and surrender.

"King, the Tuyuhun soldiers are bathing at the bottom of the mountain, but we don't even have water to drink, and if this continues, the officers and soldiers of our army will soon be unable to hold on." A Khotanese minister, with chapped lips, whispered.

"My lord, my lord, there are several soldiers who have died of thirst." At this moment, a lieutenant hurriedly reported.

When Khotanese King Wei Chi Shun heard this, he felt trembling all over, it was only two days, and the soldiers and horses under his command had already been thirsty to death, and if this continued, more soldiers would soon be thirsty to death, and in the end, without the Tuyuhun soldiers attacking, all the soldiers and horses under his command would die of thirst.

"King, why don't we rush down, snatch some clear water, and then return to the top of the mountain." One of the lieutenants swallowed saliva and whispered advice.

"Rush down to grab water, and after you go down, will you still have the life to come back? There were thousands of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses. A Khotanese minister hurriedly retorted.

"What then? We can't let the soldiers die of thirst! The lieutenant said angrily.

"Don't make any noise, kill horses for blood, continue to kill horses, and be sure to hold on until the Jin army reinforcements arrive." The king of Khotan, Zhengse, ordered.

A minister clenched his fists and said: "King, the Jin army may not know that our army is trapped here, and may never come to rescue our army, this possibility is there." ”

"Your Majesty, this situation is indeed possible, we can't pin all our hopes on the Jin army, should we think of other ways." Another courtier said.

Wei Chishun naturally took this into account, but at the moment, he had no better way than to count on the Jin army to rescue. The soldiers and horses under his command have long been dispersed, and the existing more than 1,000 people and horses in his hands are impossible to break through the encirclement of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, and waiting for the rescue of the Jin army is their only hope.

The king believes. The Jin army will definitely come to our rescue, we just need to wait quietly and kill the horses. Wei Chishun said.

"Yes, my lord." When the people heard this, they had no choice but to receive the command.

Soon. There was a neighing sound of slaughtering horses from the top of the mountain, and the miserable howl of the horses made Wei Chishun feel extremely depressed, these war horses were the baby bumps that accompanied the soldiers, at this time they were slaughtered in order to survive, and the soldiers were very unbearable, but they had no countermeasures, so they could only kill the horses in pain and take their blood to quench their thirst.

And the Tuyuhun soldiers at the foot of the mountain were extremely excited when they heard the howl of the war horses on the top of the mountain. And put more clear water at the foot of the foot, so that the Khotanese soldiers on the top of the mountain looked greedy.

"King, we still have to be prepared with both hands, although the cliff behind us is very deep, as long as we have a long enough rope, we can easily go down to the bottom of the cliff and escape from here without us knowing." A Khotanese courtier whispered.

When Wei Chishun heard this, he said, "Okay, then you can go and prepare!" ”

"Yes, my lord." The Khotanese courtiers received the order. Immediately lead more than a dozen soldiers to search for toughness materials such as rattan on the top of the mountain, and prepare to make ropes of sufficient length.

Just when the Khotanese king Chi Shun and his soldiers were about to be cornered, a scout under Wang San had already discovered the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain. and immediately ran back to report to Wang San.

"General, fifteen miles ahead of you have found thousands of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses." Scout Masse reported.

Wang San nodded, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he said, "The whole army set off and marched fifteen miles ahead." ”

At this moment, the soldiers and horses under Wang San's command had dispersed. For this reason, there are only 20,000 men and horses around him, but with the combat strength of the Jin army, these 20,000 men and horses are already invincible in the territory of Tuyuhun, even if all the remaining soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun are combined, they are not his opponents.

Of course, since the scouts of the Jin army can find the Tuyuhun army, then the scouts of Tuyuhun can naturally also find the large group of men and horses of the Jin army, for this reason, when Wang Sanqin led an army of 20,000 to kill thousands of soldiers and horses in Tuyuhun, thousands of soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun have fled quickly, and when they left, they poisoned all the containers containing water.

"General, thousands of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses have all fled." After arriving at the predetermined position, the Jin army did not find thousands of Tuyuhun troops, but only saw some traces left by the Tuyuhun army.

Wang San looked at the water containers around him and the clear water inside, and fell into doubt, even if the Tuyuhun army was stationed here, there was no need to hoard so much water! It's just so weird.

"General, there seems to be a soldier and horse on the top of the mountain next to it, could it be Khotan's soldiers and horses." One of the generals spotted the figure at the top of the mountain and whispered.

Wang San raised his head and glanced at the top of the mountain, and said, "There is indeed such a possibility, you go to the top of the mountain to have a look." ”

"Yes, General." Hearing the order, several cavalrymen hurried towards the top of the mountain.

The soldiers and horses of the Jin army have flags, so when they just arrived at the foot of the mountain, the Tuyuhun soldiers found the banner of the Jin army and happily reported to Wei Chishun.

Out of prudence, Wei Chishun ordered the soldiers under his command not to act rashly, and only after it was completely confirmed that the soldiers and horses under the mountain were Jin troops could they show up.

"King, the Jin army is indeed under the mountain, and they have already sent people up the mountain." A Khotanese lieutenant said.

Wei Chishun was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered: "All the soldiers of the army, go down the mountain immediately." After saying that, he took the lead and went down the mountain.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Wei Chishun and the important officials under his command all came to meet Wang San and thanked him for saving his life, while those soldiers immediately rushed to the container of water at the foot of the mountain and began to drink water in large gulps to relieve the feeling of ** for several days.

"If it weren't for the general leading the troops to rescue, I would have died of thirst on the top of the mountain, thank you general." Yu Khotan's king Wei Chi Shun saluted Wang Sanxing.

Wang San smiled, hugged his fists and saluted back: "The king of Khotan is polite, he will come to the rescue of the Khotanese army on the order of the king, but the camp of Khotan has already been breached, and the general has been looking for a long time before he found the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain, so he found the king of Khotan again!" ”

"Oh, then Xiao Wang is grateful to the Northern King of the Great Jin, my Wei Chishun was able to survive, all thanks to the rescue of the Northern King, in the future, I will definitely obey the orders of the Great Jin Dynasty, obey the orders of the Northern King, and do my best to help the Great Jin Dynasty stabilize the Western Regions." Yu Khotan's king Wei Chi Shun said loudly.

Wang San was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, very good!" If the king knew that the king of Khotan was so willing to be loyal to the Great Jin, he would be very happy, by the way, the king is really a blessing! There is such a good daughter as Princess Lan'er, I am really envious of others! ”

"Haha! The general has won the award, the award. Wei Chishun said humbly.

"Uh...... Ah......" Just when the atmosphere of Wei Chishun and Wang San's conversation was harmonious, the Khotanese soldiers who came down the mountain fell down one after another, foaming at the mouth.

"How so, what the hell is going on?" Yu Khotan's king Wei Chi Shun watched the soldiers under his command fall one by one, and his heart was extremely panicked.

Wang San's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

"The water is poisonous, it must be the water." Wang San frowned slightly and said loudly.

"Yes! When our army just arrived, I wondered why there was so much clear water here, it turned out that it was poisoned by Tugu, but fortunately, our army had drunk enough water fifteen miles away, otherwise, our army's 20,000 soldiers were afraid that it would also end up like this! A subordinate general under Wang San said with palpitations.

Soon, most of the more than 1,000 Khotanese soldiers fell, only Wei Chishun and his core subordinates survived, and if they didn't greet Wang San, they were afraid that they would also be poisoned.

"King, it's out of gas, it's highly poisonous." A Khotanese minister tried the Khotanese soldiers lying on the ground and said sadly.

Wei Chishun sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "The Tuyuhun people are so hateful that they actually resorted to such a despicable means of poisoning. ”

"The king doesn't have to be like this, sooner or later, our army will completely exterminate Tuyuhun and avenge the dead Khotanese soldiers." Wang San opened his mouth and comforted.

"Thank you, thank you, General." Wei Chishun hugged his fists and thanked Wang San. (To be continued.) )
